Chandigarh, March 26 – Haryana’s Labour, Transport and Energy Minister Sh. Anil Vij, while discussing the Haryana Registration and Regulation of Travel Agents Bill, 2025, in the Assembly today, said it is very important to bring this bill so that illegal migration can be controlled.
He said when he was the Home Minister, a committee was formed under the chairmanship of Bharti Arora, which caught 600 illegal travel agents. After this, a second committee was formed under the chairmanship of Sh. Sibash Kabiraj in which 750 illegal travel agents were caught.
He said due to the absence of any rules and regulations for travel agents, anyone is able to start this work. Many youth of Haryana go abroad through the donkey route, in which they pass through the sea or forest routes. It is necessary to make this law to stop the illegal migration. He said that such a law was made earlier also, but some objections were raised on it, which were removed and this bill has been presented again in the House with the efforts of the Chief Minister.
The Cabinet Minister, referring to a recent development, said that the US has deported some illegal immigrants, which is not a good sign. He said if we want the welfare of the people of Haryana, we should pass this bill unanimously.
